These are a selection of practical investigations for KS3 Science, suitable for use with the Working Scientifically section of the 2014 syllabus. Included are guidance for each investigation, a scaffolded investigation sheet, a mark scheme and a student challenge sheet. The investigations are designed to be easily marked and leveled using criteria adapted from APP guidelines. I intended to add to these over time.

This resource contains PowerPoints, workbook and assessments for Learning Aims A&B, the chemistry and biology sections of Unit 1 principals of applied science.

These resources cover lesson plans, slides, activities, video links and an end of unit test for AQA-P1-4-Generating electricity. Includes lessons on Fuel for electricity, Energy from wind and water, Power from the Sun and the Earth, Energy and the environment, The National Grid & Big energy issues.

This task allows students to examine and evaluate pieces of opposing evidence, for and against Man landing on the Moon. It can be used as part of a space topic, or as a standalone lesson. It was created as an interview lesson. It will require reading the Wikipedia page on Moon landing conspiracies first (link provided in lesson plan) as this lesson generates lots of questions from students.

Included are lesson plans, slides, video links, activities and worksheets for AQA-P1-5-Waves. Includes lessons on, the nature of waves, measuring waves, reflection, refraction, diffraction and sound.

Suitable for use as a starter or plenary. This is a one page diagram that the students are asked to complete. It asks the students to complete the path of a laser as it is reflected off a series of mirrors to a detector. They have to work out the angles of incidence and reflection. Requires a protractor. Can be used for AQA P1 - Waves - Reflection.

This includes lesson plans, slides, video links and worksheets for AQA-P1-1-Energy transfer by heating. Includes lessons on infrared radiation, surfaces and radiation, states of matter, conduction, convection, evaporation and condensation, energy transfer by design & specific heat capacity.

This resource contains assessments, PowerPoints and workbook for Learning aim C for unit 1. There is another resource with the chemistry and biology content.

This is a simple worksheet that allows students to consider energy transfers. Best used as a starter or plenary.

This is a worksheet that asks students to calculate wave speed, then rearrange the equation and calculate frequency and wavelength. Suitable for starter or plenary. Can be used for AQA - P1 - Waves - Measuring waves.

This is a worksheet written for AQA P1. It asked the students to calculate energy and efficiency then draw a Sankey diagram.

I made this for a Year 10 group doing the Greenhouse effect as part of P2 in the OCR Science GCSE. Printed/photocopied onto on A3. Can be completed with access to textbooks or with the internet. Includes both PowerPoint slide and JPEG

A short activity to introduce students to a risk assessment. They are given 6 hazards, they then have to use the labels to fill in the risk assessment table. Suitable for use as a starter or plenary.

This is a lesson designed to familiarise students with the exam's equation sheet and give them practice at doing the calculations. Suitible for use at the end of P1, before a mock or the final exam.

This is an activity was written for AQA P1 -Energy transfer by design. Split students into groups, give each group a question based on their ability, they apply their knowledge from the previous lessons in the topic. Then present what they have worked out to the rest of the class.

Large A3 colour worksheet written for the AQA P1 6.3 Communications lesson. Students have to find information from the Science A textbook (Will need editing if using the AQA physics book).

This was a lesson for the Radiation Carries Information part of P2 of the OCR science GCSE course. Students need to have access to the OCR Physics textbook to complete the sheet. Electromagnetic spectrum, digital signals.

These are complete lesson PowerPoints, handouts and assessment for a KS3 topic on forms of energy, energy transfers, energy efficiency, energy in food, as well as calculating kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
